Buying Local: Week 11

K picked up our CSA box this week and he took a page out of my book by bringing a bag to transfer the produce so we don’t have to bring the box home. He also purposefully did not bring any cash to the farmers market so he would not be tempted to make any impulse buys.

 

This is K’s attempt at taking a cool artsy picture for me.

 

What We Bought (From the CSA):

• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• New baby yukon potatoes
• Bok Choi
• Red Beets
• Parisian Market Carrots
• Raspberries
• Blueberries
• Summer Squash
• English Peas

What We Learned:

• Since we failed on using the beets from the last box, K instantly used some of the gigantic beets we got to make a beet and berry smoothie and absolutely loved it
• Blueberries and raspberries disappear just way too fast!
• This may be the first box we actually fully finish!
